| To RHC. {R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} C. to By. {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} +302 Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Gry. {Shadwell Grylls} 22/KW.5.9.35. Spectre(Codename for Phantom III) Rear Axle. On examining the axle boxes being built on production, we find the pinion bearing housing is arranged to supply a return oil way but that no provision exists in the casting to let the oil back into the box. New axles should have a slot cut in the casting and the detail drawing requires modification to look after this point. Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Gry. {Shadwell Grylls} | ||
